Is there any risk with continuing to use the file

When money loads, "Looking for upcoming bills" is presented in the message
box then the "the operation cannot be performed" is displayed.

I recall modifying the "Bills & Deposits List" and then closing the
application as being the last activity I performed in money before the
message above is displayed. I'm not having any other problems at this time.
The data looks good.

What do you recommend? Deleting all recurring bills in that workflow - or
walking through the laborious activity of QIF export/import?

Thanks
Steve

If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_), and
start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated with
the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that the
cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.

Then File-> Import ALL AT ONCE using Ctrl+<click> to select files.
Specify "New or Recovered" account when asked.

Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names.

Hi Cal - by running the commands in sequence money needs to be closed after
msmoney.exe -s is executed. Once this is completed salv.exe was ran at both
levels generating the same results in the view log:

"No broken records in the original file."

Cal - you mention some tips for doing a QIF import/export. What are these,
or do you have a link that you wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks!

Steve

Note that there are two levels. Try them both, in sequence.

Keep multiple versions of backups.

If you do want to try QIF export/import, there are some tips to
consider.

Thanks for the link.

I also came across this helpful link:

Unfortunately, the problem remains. There does not seem to be any impact to
the data. The only problem is that when starting the money application a
message box is displayed with the text, ""the operation cannot be
performed". At this time, there is no impact to the data.

These commands were ran against the file but did not resolve the problem
(the message box continues to be displayed).

1. Msmoney.exe -s
2. salv.exe

Do I need to export/import my accounts into a new money file? Since the
impact from the problem is annoyance and upon startup, I'm hesitant on
spending the time to export/import all my investment and accounts into a new
file - unless the risk is high that the file is more susceptible to further
problems. Any ideas?

Thanks -

Steve

See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104. I'm betting the password thing is
only coincidental.

I forgot to mention that i'm still able to access the data.

Also - I'm wrong below - it doesn't matter what password I enter the message
below still appears.

Also - this password was established back when I started w/ money in '98. So
the Login Lockbox feature did not exist back then. I also tried creating a
new password, but this had no effect. I'm concerned the file is corrupt and
more disconcerning is that I don't know how to fix the problem - any ideas?

When prompted for my password, and entering the correct password I receive
this error message:

"the operation cannot be performed"

the password is correct.

Any ideas - any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
